Who knew that a twenty foot wide store front across from the Old State Capital and within walking distance from all important state offices, would have the depth to support a lunch time menu. But the line along the west wall and few, few empty wooden chairs tell the story. There still is a wait for so plan accordingly and when delivered to the table, you know why this is the cross road of tourist, visitor and government staff.
Amazing soups and I love the chicken salad. The staff is always so friendly and helpful. If you are visiting downtown Springfield, this is a must stop for lunch!
This is a great soup and sandwich shop. I love that you order with someone at the front of the line. Then, she gives you a little ticket, and the staff bring you your food by calling your number once you've seated yourself. The chicken salad is wonderful. Last time I was there, I also had zucchini chowder--it was so creamy and yummy! The portions are just right--not too much nor too little. I love the food so much and always look forward to coming every time I visit home. I do wish that the owners would put a little effort into repairing some of the ceiling plaster and a bit of an upgrade of the decor. The food truly is delicious--decor updates or not!
I finally made it back to The Feed Store this week. Oh, my!!! I was NOT disappointed. The chicken salad was amazing and the Wisconsin cheese soup was devine. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere inviting. I read my book while enjoying my lunch. Perfection!
The sandwiches we had (the Unholy Cow and corned beef on rye) were excellent and the customer service was really great. Really friendly people. Admittedly, the look of it doesn't really match the atmosphere. The interior is designed almost in a Victorian style, with vintage looking trim, wallpaper, and ceiling design. It's a bit loud though--buzzing the whole time and we were here in at a comparatively slow time (for them). So maybe not a super chill place but they do have carryout. Loved the Wisconsin cheese soup which was at least as good as any I've had traveling through Wisconsin.
This place is amazing! They have a wide variety of sandwiches, soup, and salads. I recommend the Wisconsin cheese and broccoli cheddar soup mix. The root beer is amazing and has a focused flavor. It has a wide room for seating, and tables of 2 and tables of 4. Very friendly staff! I will come here again!
Wow what a great place! We went there today for lunch. Their ranch dressing is amazing and salad was SO good. Their sandwiches and soups are also! All the staff was very kind. We went as a large group and I felt they enjoyed having us there and were so welcoming. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Looking forward to the next time we get to visit!!!
We stopped in for lunch and had a variety of sandwiches and soup. All of the food was excellent for all 7 of us. The service was outstanding. They were great with organizing what some little kids wanted and making sure that everything was correct. Highly recommend
